2.Combining two images and fitting one into the other

2-1 Soften the tone of the color of the eye image.
 At this stage, the eye image has not been changed. Select [Hue/Saturation] from [Adjustments] in the [Image] menu. In the dialog box that appears, set [Saturation] to [-52] and [Lightness] to [-30] and click [OK]. The color of the entire image softens and darkens.


2-2 Copy the reflection image.
 Make the reflection image active. Select the [Rectangular Marquee Tool]. Drag and select the area to be used as the reflection and copy it. Then, make the eye image active and paste the reflection image onto it.

Select the area to be used and select Copy from the Edit menu.  You can also use Ctrl+C for copying.
Make the eye image active and select Paste from the Edit menu.  You can also use Ctrl+V for pasting.

2-3 Make the reflection image semitransparent.
 On the [Layers] palette, the pasted image has become a new layer. Set [Opacity] to 50% for this layer. The pasted image turns semitransparent.

Change to 50%

2-4 Adjust the size and position.
 Select [Scale] from [Transform] in the [Edit] menu. A bounding box (a rectangular box with points at the four corners and four sides) appears, surrounding the image. Holding the [Shift] key down, drag a corner point to reduce the size of the image. Then, drag inside the bounding box to place the image at the center of the screen. When you are satisfied with the result, press the [Enter] key to confirm this transformation.

Drag a corner point to enlarge or reduce the size of the image.  To maintain the proportion of image length to width, hold down the Shift key while dragging.
Drag inside the bounding box to adjust the position of the reflection image.

2-5 Distort the image to make it look like a reflection on a sphere.
 Select [Spherize] from [Distort] in the [Filter] menu. In the dialog box that appears, set [Amount] to 100% and click [OK]. Repeat this step once more to make the reflection image look like one on a spherical surface.

In the Spherize dialog box, make and apply these settings.  Repeat this step once more.

2-6 Adjust the size and angle.
 The reflection image must be resized because it has bulged out through spherization. Select [Distort] from [Transform] in the [Edit] menu. Holding down the [Shift] key, drag a corner point to reduce the size of the image. Then, drag outside the bounding box to rotate the image. When you are satisfied with the result, press the [Enter] key to confirm this transformation.

Holding down the Shift key, drag a corner point to reduce the size of the image.
Rotate and tilt the image as you like by dragging outside the bounding box.
